CROSSVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – The Animal Rescue Corps announced the rescue of 23 dogs and puppies from “severely neglectful conditions” inside a Tennessee trailer.
The nonprofit reports that the animals were surrendered to ARC following their rescue from the trailer in Crossville.
“ARC responders found 23 small mix-breed dogs running loose on urine-soaked, feces-covered floors and broken furniture with make-shift fencing inside the trailer,” ARC said. “Seven young pups, only five weeks old, were found covered in feces.”

ARC adds that the dogs were suffering from internal and external parasites (such as fleas and ticks) and high ammonia exposure. The nonprofit said that these conditions are the result of neglectful breeding of unaltered dogs in a confined space.
“The planning for this rescue operation began when a concerned citizen reached out to the property occupant and offered to get them help and then reached out to ARC. This New Year’s Eve rescue, dubbed Operation Countdown, is ARC’s third deployment in the past eight days in Tennessee. Throughout year-end, ARC donors are offering a matching challenge to help support ARC’s work.
ARC transported the dogs from the property to ARC’s Rescue Center in Gallatin, Tenn., about 40 minutes east of Nashville. Each animal will receive a thorough veterinary exam, appropriate vaccinations, and any necessary medical treatments until they are matched and transported to trusted shelter and rescue partner organizations that will ultimately adopt them into loving homes. For people wishing to foster or adopt, ARC will publish its list of shelter and rescue placement partners on its Facebook page once the animals are transferred to these groups.
